Brenda's Photo Challenge / Weathered and Worn

Click on photo to enlarge!

This beach front cottage was built in 1920 and is now in dire need of restoration.

It is one of 42 historic cottages being restored in Crystal Cove, California.

The movie Beaches was filmed, starring Bette Midler, in cottage #13 and it is also on the list to be restored in the near future.

Thirteen of the 42 cottages are now available for rental, but, there is at least a six month wait.

If you are interested...plan ahead!

This is one of my favorites and you can see there is a lot of work needed.

ABC Wednesday / "S" and "T"

Click on photos to enlarge!
Jerry and I spent the late afternoon walking on the beach and checking out the tide-pools at Crystal Cove, Newport Coast, California.
We weren't alone as many people came to the beach to spend family time together for Memorial Day.

I realized I had not posted an "S" for last week.

And, look what I found...an S for seaweed!
How great is that?!

Of course the beach is full of sand and shells!

We came upon a scene that was very sentimental for this Memorial Day.

Someone propped up a flag and left it on this rock for all to remember what this day is about.

This family spent some time near the rock after viewing the U.S. flag.

 It wasn't long before a fisherman  joined the flag on the rock.

...and then, later in the day, the most sentimental scene of all.

The theme is T this week.

...and, S from last week.
